Welcome to the forum, Jam. A lot of good guys here willing to help.
Read through the sticky posts at the top of the forum (advice for new guys, blood testing, protocol for injections, etc). There is a lot of information to digest.
Are these all of your labs or do you have more? LH/FSH?
I got the basic male hormone labs from private MD. It has IGF,thyroid, comp met panel, total test, free test and estridial levels. This is just the beging of test.

According to the American Urological Association, Serum PSA should
decrease and remain at undetectable levels after radical
prostatectomy. The AUA defines biochemical recurrence as an initial
PSA value 0.2 ng/mL or greater followed by a subsequent confirmatory
PSA value 0.2 ng/mL or greater.
Values obtained with different assay methods or kits cannot be used
interchangeably. Results cannot be interpreted as absolute evidence
of the presence or absence of malignant disease.

There should be LH and FSH somewhere. These numbers determine if you are primary or secondary hypogonadic. Low LH and low FSH, secondary. Elevated LH and FSH, primary. These numbers are VERY IMPORTANT to get before you start TRT, if you are considering it.
Read through the blood testing sticky. You need testing on your adrenals as well.
Please see the thyroid basics sticky, check body temperatures and report iodine intake history from vitamins and iodized salt. Thyroid numbers seem good so far.
No explanation for low E2. With labcorp, you do not need the sensitive, get the one with the range of <43.
If LH/FSH are low, check prolactin as a possible cause, otherwise if LH/FSH are not low, the problem may be your testes.
Your blood seems thin. Might be from low T, but possible loss via gut. Do you have digestive problems?
I plan to take body temp, morning and afternoon. Going to get lab on Lh/fsh. I do take Carlson fish oil, 2 servings a day. Could that cause the thin blood
